This package includes a version of the Linux kernel that is patched
with the realtime preemption patch.
The initial preempt-RT technology was developed mostly by Ingo Molnar,
Steven Rostedt, Paul Mckenney, Peter Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner with
lots of input from Doug Niehaus, who did research in kernel preemption
in the 1990s. The technology rewrite around 3.0-rt was done by Thomas
Gleixner with help from Peter and Steven, and that's what preempt-RT
today is based on.
